专利汇可以提供Dynamic data storage cell专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A dynamic data storage cell is disclosed that requires only one insulated gate field effect transistor (IGFET) to store binary data. The drain of the FET is connected to a data input line and data is stored at the source node of the transistor by the inherent capacitance between the source diffusion and the substrate. The capacitance of the source electrode is enhanced by forming a heavily doped layer to underlie a portion of the source diffusion. Using the substrate as circuit ground enables the fabrication of an array of transistors for a random access memory wherein the surface area of the semiconductor chip is minimized.,下面是Dynamic data storage cell专利的具体信息内容。
